Let it go

[kathleenfoucart]

These last two weeks have been kinda crazy. Between Mother's Day (we hosted brunch for 8, plus two wee ones), my 20 week anatomy scan (everything looks great and it's a GIRL!), and then hubby's step-dad coming in to visit for nearly a week, it was going to be nuts anyway. Add in the fact that I overexerted myself Monday and my back has been feeling

I'm still trying to figure this out. Every time I think about getting back into writing, I stop myself. There is just TOO MUCH going on and I feel I'll completely lose my sanity if I attempt to add one thing to my list. :( I'm not thrilled about it, but I'm just hoping one day when Wyrmling is a bit older and I'm not trying to cope with business and family health issues that I'll be able to carve time out.

Things that I feel more of a loss is when I'm so wiped out that I can't focus on reading, and either so tired or my arms are hurting or numb so I need to lay off the crafting. Oddly, I cope with the loss of reading by playing more point-and-click games on Kindle. A lot of them have very involved storylines, so I kind of get my story fix from that.

Reading is probably closest to my version of your sanity keeper. :-) I don't really lose the habit of that if I miss a day or two. It's pretty rare, though, and when I do realize I've gone a day or two without reading, it's usually that my life has been crazy busy AND that I'm really not excited about the book I'm reading (Can I tell you how excited I am to have reached an ending in Don Quixote? Two years I've been trying to get through that tome!!). At that point, I either quit the book and find something that I'll make time for, or I ask my family to make sure I get some time. They're not so good about leaving me alone sometimes. ;-) If it's not a temporary crazy busy, but a routine or schedule thing that's just not working, we talk it out and figure out a change to the routine that will hopefully work better.
